08-30-06, 11:00 PM I'm sorry, that information is on a need to know basis only. What did you say your rank was in the Blackwheel Company? ;)

08-31-06, 07:02 PM Lt. Colonel, actually.

Remember, the BWC doesn't really exist.

Covenant of Light is very public, in every aspect. BWC hides the fact that it's bankrolled by dragonmarked houses.

09-08-06, 05:10 AM I thought People knew that there was such a thing as a Covenant of Light, but did not know they were out to do...secret stuff. I am of the opinion that people think the CoL is a church 'Bible-study' group and not a faction after ....errr secret stuff..

Wait a minute... when did we start playing Paranoia? The BWC is your friend!

09-29-06, 01:34 AM Man that blackwheel 2 mod introduces a lot of the stuff addressed on the forum. Now there are uniforms. Also, since when was Sgt. Tragar a female. That totally blindsided me. I never got the idea.

09-29-06, 01:51 AM Kinda Ironic... IRL, Hyenas are notable as a species whose females exhibit a number of male characteristics.

She has always been female. :D

Stay tuned for some upcoming web content about the BWC. We gave the other factions their time to shine. Now we're bringing out the big stuff. ;)

10-01-06, 06:01 PM But there's at least one spot in Principal of the Matter that referes to tragar as 'he'.

It kinda blindsided me, because I ran PotM yesterday after the first DM's mark, where Tragar was featured. Having read this thread, I'd been referring to her as 'she', so I stumbled a bit when PotM used 'he'.

Smack Kiddoc around a bit then. He's the suck. Or something.
Tragar's definately female. She might even take offense to being called a "he".
Unless it was General Ogdin calling her a he? If so, he's kind of stupid? And VERY rude? Soooo, who knows what he might say?

I'd like to use General Ogdin as an NPC in a DM's Mark if that's ok - can you give a description/known background/personality? (I take it this is a character from the playtest group?)

Thanks - Kevin

10-12-06, 04:48 PM I Pm'd you as well. General Ogdin is a great NPC. :)
He didn't work at as well as a PC in the playtest group, (trying to RP someone that refuses to listen and is sure he is always right, tends to well, annoy the rest of the group. Especially when he's wrong, but manages to just kill everything that moved, and a few doors, a tree and a small gazebo to make it "work")
Think of him as Gunney Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket only slightly ruder, and less charisma :) He proudly wields two longswords, is huge for a human, and has a severe distrust of all the magic types. He knows they're needed, but he also knows the best way to win a battle is with steel. (Or adamantine etc )
